The dominoes are falling. With the fourteenth week in the books, three more participants bid adieu to the 2014 Suicide Pool. Graham's Girl and G-Pa have fallen for the third and final time, along with the last of the Mallory's.
Still three undefeateds, joined by their ten one-loss fellows. Most of the action tamed the Lions this past weekend, with a bit of Texans help thrown in and one lone Viking fan narrowly escaping defeat.
Week Fourteen Statistics
3 undeated at 14-0
10 with one loss at 13-1
179 deceased
For comparisons sake, in Week Fifteen last season (2013) there were only 5 souls left. In 2012, there were 22 remaining at this time. In 2011, there were 8 still alive. In 2010, there were 28. So we seem, in this most interesting year, to be right at about the five-year average for this point in the season, even if none of the years have actually been in the general range.
Also worth noting: lots of veterans in the ranks of those left alive, men and women with significant end of season experience. Pillow Connoisseur, Shiner, J-Ro, Hitman, Monkey, and Wick and Chick all have graced the hallowed halls of year's end success, and will be tough to beat for the rest of the field.
So strap on that black rubber glove that you rent with an option to buy, skin that smoke wagon and go to work.
That is all.
